Kicked Off the Streets - Laotian Sun Lyrics

LBJ got himself in a mess
He's looking to put our nation to the test
Herbicidal gases and napalm
Capitalism strikes Vietnam
When uncle sam blatantly points at you
For reasons no one new
In a nuclear age would else could we do
What could we do

The draft will make use of every mothers son
And there was no way out till the job was done
Be it, a burnout with flat swollen feet
A junkie or a scholarship athlete
You'll conform without your liberal songs
They'll cut your hair you grew so long
Forced to fight the commie vietcong

Surely Kennedy had died in vein
When they colored the streets with his brains
No lessons learned in the decades passed
Maybe with another atomic blast
Atomic blast

Across new borders you will be sent
Deep into an inferno descent
Forsaken by folks at home
In complete chaos you'll stand alone
You lived a life of innocent fun
Then at eighteen they gave you the gun
To fight and die under the Laotian sun
